Liu Shang turned around at this time, ignored Xie Xiang, changed his face to a serious expression, and said to Old Man Ye: "Please forgive me for being blind, thank you for saving Xiao Yu from the shopkeeper, otherwise my friend will not only be trapped by the hook, but also bitten by a vicious dog, well, that is really a jealous talent." ”

Xie Xiang couldn't hold it anymore, grabbed a chopstick and threw it at Liu Shang: "If you hurt me, you will have to take Uncle Ye to tie the raft together, and deliberately bully the old man, right?" ”

Old man Ye hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Childe said that he was joking, the little old man really didn't dare to be it." ”

Liu Shang blocked the chopsticks thrown by Xie Xiang with his hand, and said to Old Man Ye with a smile: "Shopkeeper, if you really have the ability to help us get the Lu Yin letter, we will simply rest here for two days, and after the matter is completed, it is good to thank you again." ”

Old man Ye waved his hand: "It's too early to say thank you, just ask the scholar to carefully tell the little old man where to put the baggage, I will come when I go, and I won't delay the son's two-day trip." ”

Xie Xiang had long expected that this old man Ye had some ability, so he was not surprised, but quickly told Old Man Ye carefully which room he put his burden in.

In the end, he said to Old Man Ye with no hope at all: "When I left, there was already a sea of fire, hey, if I think about it, there is not much hope of finding it."

Old man Ye nodded: "It's just a matter of talking about personnel, anyway, I don't have much to do during the day, the two sons use it slowly, and the little old man will come when he goes, by the way, give the nobles a good wine." ”

After saying that, Old Man Ye bowed down to Liu Shang Xie Xiang again and retreated.

Xie Xiang suddenly felt a little strange, it turned out that Liu Shang, who had always been very noisy, would be extraordinarily quiet, turned his face to look, and almost didn't laugh, it turned out that this Liu Dagongzi had already widened his eyes, staring at the back of Old Man Ye with good eyes, with an indescribable expression on his face.

Xiao Ji was very clever, and immediately followed behind Old Man Ye, wanting to see what the hell Old Man Ye could do.

He saw that Old Man Ye didn't get any demonic transformation magic weapons, but just walked into the livestock shed.

After a while, I saw Old Man Ye pull out a big white flower mule with thin bones and two big pointed ears that kept fanning.

Old man Ye suddenly turned around and smiled at Xiao Ji and said, "Please tell the two sons to eat slowly, or I can come back in time." ”

Before the words were finished, the person had already raised his legs and got on the mule, and with a "chirp" in his mouth, the big white flower mule scattered its four hooves, but in a moment, it ran away with the old man Ye.

Xiao Ji suddenly felt that her heart was pounding uncontrollably, and she was almost scared to death.

After listening to Xiao Ji's description of adding oil and vinegar, Liu Shang couldn't help but look at Xie Xiang for a while.

"This is the legendary chivalrous man, no, I have to find a way to collect this person, so that we don't have to be afraid of anything in the next trip?"

Liu Shang is worthy of being in business, his brain is turning fast, he didn't sigh at the magic of this hidden old man Ye, he immediately thought that he was lacking a capable bodyguard, and the old man Ye instead of guarding this small inn every day, it was better to give him more silver and take him for his own use.

Xie Xiang shook his head.

Liu Shang smiled: "What are you shaking your head?" How much money can he have in this small inn all day long? I'll pay him more. ”

Xie Xiang sighed solemnly: "Hey, Yunjiao, you have always been extremely smart, will you be busy and confused?" ”

Liu Shangqi said: "Why am I confused? Am I not right? ”

Xie Xiang smiled: "A person who has the ability and is no longer young, will he lack the few silver that you can be a bodyguard?" You're definitely not right. ”

Liu Shang said disapprerovingly: "That may not be known, or is he really willing?" ”

Xie Xiang shook his head: "Generally speaking, such a person either wants to be pure and comfortable, and does not want to mix things in the rivers and lakes, or has no hidden feelings. However, you can also ask, but only in a requesting tone, not in the domineering tone that you have. ”

Liu Shang has always been exquisite, how could he not understand what Xie Xiang meant, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, I will naturally be measured." ”

Xiao Ji also sighed and said, "Two masters, you have patronized and talked, and the dishes on this table are cold." ”

Liu Shang glanced at Xiao Ji and said to him: "Didn't you hear Old Man Ye tell us to eat slowly, waiting for him, but you are talking more and more now." ”

The little thistle couldn't help but shrink its neck.

Xie Xiang said with a smile: "Yun Jiao, you really treat everyone well, but you treat Xiao Ji a little mean, Xiao Ji is right, don't these fish have any heat?" He is concerned, is it wrong to care? ”

Liu Shang also smiled: "You are suddenly going to please people now, so ah, I can't let you go back to Xiejia Village, in case I am in a bad mood one day and want to discount this minion's leg, you can also act as his savior." ”

Xie Xiang said disdainfully: "Your own people, what do you like, I'm just unconvinced, if you don't like to listen, I won't say anything in the future." ”

Liu Shang immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "So you agreed to be my bookkeeper?" Okay, okay, little thistle, why don't you hurry up and meet Gongzi Xie. He will be your talisman from now on. ”

Xiao Ji hurriedly took a clever step forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Xiang and said, "In the future, there will be places where the slave is inappropriate, and please protect me more." ”

Xie Xiang immediately regretted it in his heart, and understood that he was in a hurry, and he was taken advantage of by this slippery master and servant.

At this point, Xie Xiang could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

The most important thing is that his previous idea of going back to Xiejia Village to live in seclusion is not so strong, seeing Liu Shang, he can't help but touch his previous high spirits, and now he gradually understands that in the final analysis, he is still unwilling to live a life of loneliness for a person.

Old man Ye returned two hours later.

He only brought back an old clay-sealed flower carving, and nothing else.

"Childe, the hook fence you said is still burning, the government sent heavy troops to martial law, I went in and saw that many people died inside, not even cats and dogs are alive...... Oh, miserable! ”

The vicissitudes on Old Man Ye's face seemed to be even more serious, "I found the room you mentioned, probably because it is far away from the main bed in the back house, and it has not been affected by the fireworks, but I haven't been able to find the burden or something on the wall you said, Xiao Lao'er is afraid that you are mistaken, so I looked through the bedside cage cabinet, and there is indeed nothing." ”

Listening to Old Man Ye babbling like this, Xie Xiang's hanging heart slowly relaxed.

Since the bedroom was not burned, but Old Man Ye did not find his burden, there may be only one reason, that is, his burden was taken away by Xia Xueyi.

Because he knew very well that he had no money in his baggage, except for two changes of old clothes, that is, the letter and the guide, in that place in Luofangyuan, it was estimated that the people next to him would not be interested in stealing such an old burden at all.

The possibility of Li Xin, who was held hostage, not very likely to return, so only Xia Xueyi was interested in entering the house to check and take away the baggage.

This illustrates...... He was still safe.

It's simply better than anything else.

Although Xie Xiang knew in his heart that Xia Xueyi would not die casually, he still needed some kind of confirmation to excite himself, after all, the one surnamed Huang said that it was the Jinyi Guard sent by the imperial court who attacked Luofang Courtyard.

Now, Xie Xiang is in the mood to think about it, I don't know how the twisted Aunt Wu offended the emperor Lao Tzu? Even the brocade guards were dispatched.

However, to tell the truth, if you want to deal with the group of people in Luofang Courtyard, Aunt Wu, a large group of ghostly subordinates under her, as well as Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao, in the case that the Central Plains Martial Arts is unwilling to ask, there is only Jinyiwei.

Liu Shangsheng was afraid that Xie Xiang would retreat when he heard Old Man Ye say this, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Shopkeeper, thank you for your trip, whether you can get that burden or not, we are very admired and grateful for your affection, please sit down, I have other important things to ask you for." ”

Old man Ye was a little guilty after all, and hurriedly excused himself and humbly said: "Don't say this, nobleman, the little old man can't bear to be entrusted, I'm really ashamed, I'll go and heat up the dishes first...... Hey, in the city of Wuzhou, there is a shortage of soldiers! ”

Liu Shang stood up and dragged Old Man Ye: "Exactly, the old man, please sit down, when the food is cold, I will ask the slave to heat it ......up."

As he spoke, he pressed Old Man Ye on the stool and sat down, saluting with both hands, "This world is really getting more and more chaotic, we are in business, waterways and dry roads are all the same dangerous, I was blind before, I don't know that the shopkeeper is a real capable person, I want to ask your old man to help people to the end, accompany us to Huguang, are you willing?" ”

Old man Ye hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The noble man praised it falsely, the carving insect skills are not enough to worry about, I just have a good foot, and the noble man also saw it, I am the only one in this small inn, the little old man is alone, and it is really difficult to separate." ”

Liu Shang begged, "Can you close this inn temporarily, or can I simply leave two people to help you take care of the inn?" I just want to ask your old man to bless us on a trip. ”

Liu Shang said while looking at Xie Xiang with his eyes, this person is really, he likes to see injustice to others, but he can't save him when he dies, so he can help say something.

Xie Xiang kept smiling and silent.

He knew that a somewhat eccentric person like Old Man Ye, if he wanted, he only needed Liu Shang to open his mouth, and if he didn't want to, he would be begging for him in a room, and it was probably useless.

So, he can't waste much spittle.

Sure enough, Old Man Ye sighed and said, "If it weren't for the little old man's push, it would be really difficult for the noble person to obey his fate...... Huguang is still very quiet at present, but it doesn't hurt to go, but you'd better not go to Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi. ”
